Food, culture, and history…the perfect Old Lyon tour.

5.00This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Maude, was very knowledgeable and interesting. She has an obvious passion for Lyon and its culinary importance. She is well versed on the history of the region which made it seem like more than just a food centered tour. She explained to us the historical and geographical importance of the city between stops, introducing us to traboules and how they came to be and shape Lyon.
Tasty food

5.00Nathalie was an excellent guide. She was funny, engaging and very knowledgeable. I wish we had done the tour the first day we were in Lyon because then we could have really taken advantage of Nathalie's local recommendations. I'd consider this tour a must for anyone visiting Lyon for the first time.
Yeah, good!

5.00Nathalie was a perfect guide! We took great pleasure in knowing some small addresses of old Lyon. The historical parts were also very interesting. It was very nice for us who have just moved to Lyon now more than a month ago. We recommend it and we will definitely come back to it for more ideas for tours! Thanks again Nathalie! Happy New Year's Eve!

5.00We had a wonderful time on this food tour. Our tour guide, Nathalie, went above and beyond when it came to making sure we had a pleasant experience. She was very knowledgeable of the city of Lyon, and shared a lot of important historical context about the city that we found very cool and helpful. Nathalie also went out of her way to give us some amazing recommendations (restaurants, sites to see, etc) for after the tour. Our visit to Lyon would not be complete without Nathalie’s help, and we would happily recommend her and this tour to anyone considering it.
A great taste of Lyon
